Hi Fellow 986 Owners,

Hope you all are well.

I'm preparing my 986S for a series of track days with our local PCA group. I did a visual of my wheel lug bolts over the weekend and noticed they are pretty beat up. I don't know if they were ever replaced and was wondering if they "should" be replaced as preventative maintenance and for safety reasons.

Also, is anyone here using the Porsche or Castrol Molub-Alloy paste on their wheel lug bolts? And is the recommendation of 96 ft-lb torque on the wheels lug bolts still the norm today? Thanks in advance!
